expensive option. san jose unions like police and fire are fighting back with lawsuits saying the measure violates the constitution. >> we believe this could have been addressed at the bargaining table. all of the unions including my union offered significant concessions to pension alternatives and the city ignored all of the decisions. >> yolanda cruz is part of the municipal employee union. she wants to know how the pensions really work. >> contrary to what has been portrayed, we pay into our pensions. we pay for 50% of our retiree health care, and we don't receive social security. so this is our only form of pension. it is our only retirement system we have. >> the mayor says the easiest way to cut back is to change the benefits for new employees. but he says most of the money is spent on current employees. in san jose, ama dates, abc
